Librería: Wykeham Books, LONDON, Reino Unido
Cloth, oblong 4to, 23 x 30 cm, 80 pp, ills, maps. From the blurb: "The late Alan Sorrell was famous for his historical reconstructions. Those drawings, at once meticulous and lively, have been a delight to a whole generation of amateur archaeologists and medieval historians, giving flesh and blood to the dry bones of archaeological reports. Through them the reader is enabled not only to picture how the buildings once appeared, but also to identify with the people who lived in them. Urban life was the key to Roman civilization and the twenty-five reconstructions in this book provide a balanced and exciting picture of the towns in Roman Britain, from Claudius' invasion in AD 43 to the collapse of the Roman province four centuries later. The drawings, which range from the great centres of London, St Albans, Colchester and Lincoln to the civil settlements attached to the forts on Hadrian's Wall and elsewhere, are accompanied by photographs of outstanding finds from each site and by an exceptionally clear text." Good in used and rubbed dustwrapper.
